Dungeon Solitaire: Labyrinth of Souls is a fantasy game for tarot cards. Defeat monsters, disarm traps, open door, and navigate mazes as you explore a dangerous dungeon. Collect treasure and magic items, gain skills, and gather companions. But beware, the dungeon is vast, and death awaits those who linger too long. If your torches burn out you will be lost forever in the darkness. If your rations run dry, you will starve or go mad. And dungeon itself is a force of corruption, threatening all who enter.

Includes Basic, Expert, and Advance Rules, as well as six game variations: Two-Player Cooperative, Dragon’s Lair, Undead Hordes, Mega-Dungeon, Campaign Mode, and Cartomancy. Playable with any tarot deck, but best enjoyed with exclusive Labyrinth of Souls tarot cards, exclusively illustrated by Josephe Vandel.

Labyrinth of Souls tarot cards are available through Gamecrafter with a 34 page Starter Edition PDF, including an introduction to the game, Basic Rules, a walkthrough, and references. The complete 152 page rulebook is available on Amazon and other major online book retailers.

Improve your game, your understanding, and your appreciation of chess with this complete, concise guide, specifically designed for beginning to intermediate players.

Elements of Chess is an ideal first chess book and a great reference for more serious students of the game. Chapters cover topics such as tactics, strategy, pieces, and pawns, as well as openings, endgames, and checkmates. Sections on the use of clocks, notation, and commonly misunderstood rules are also included. Every major component of the game is explained clearly and illustrated with carefully chosen diagrams.

Future wars are waged with huge humanoid machines known as giants. Human pilots are encased in neuro-conductive capsules behind layers of armor plating, their senses and nerve impulses merged with the artificial systems of the giants they control.

Giant is a wargame played with paper, pencils, and six-sided dice. Inside is a complete game, including rules, a visual reference, a record sheet, a master battle map, and eight ready to play maps with various terrain. It’s perfect for travel or when you want an action packed game with minimal preparation.

Each player controls up to three giants, chosen from fifteen different types. Arm them with missiles, guns, and lasers. Then send them into battle!

GRIMSTONE FANTASY ROLEPLAYING

Complete Rules

“Many times, the age of dragons has come and gone. Glorious civilizations, rich cultures, and mighty empires have risen, only to fall beneath the reign of fire. A legacy of wealth and magic lies waiting to be found, by adventurers willing to risk everything. Most will die, by the rusted swords of orcs, in the jagged maws of terrible monsters, or from the unnatural influence of dark sorcery. Their corpses will rot in the blistering sun, or lay entombed forever in the Grimstone Deep. But some will find glory. Every age has its pantheon of heroes, and a few of them will rise to legend.”

Grimstone is a complete set of rules for fantasy roleplaying. The core of the game is built around an OSR compatible version of the Original Fantasy Roleplaying Game. However, some aspects of the game have been redesigned or optimized for streamlined preparation and gameplay. Everything you need is here, in a format equally suited to old school and modern styles of gaming.

Features:

16 character callings based on archetypes and specialized abilities.

A unified magic system with spell levels that correspond to character levels.

An integrated system of skills and non-combat action resolution.

Compatibility with a huge selection of OSR games, modules, and supplements.

Dungeon Solitaire Reviews

"Since its release, I've been playing game after game when I can find the time, and this solo card game is exactly what I tried cobbling together years ago. It's an amazing game ..." --Tim Snider, The Savage Afterworld

"The best thing going for DS-LoS is that it's a lot of fun. If the Labyrinth of Souls were only a Tarot deck, it'd still be great, but what really pushes it over the top is that the game for which the deck was made is terrific fun." --James Bulls, Left Hand Tarot

"Dungeon Solitaire is incredibly rich and thought-provoking. This game takes you by surprise." --Geoffrey Greer, Past Go Gaming

We all have seen a few experiments with D&D and poker cards, but this is the one that finally pulls it off. Smart, fast, elegant, easy to learn and a lot of fun. Absolutely recommended! --Ronnie Rocket, Google+
